Volunteers ROCK! Photo by Suzanne Adams.
Lemme give a real quick shoutout to all you volunteers out there today and throughout the season. You, yes, you. Sitting in your camp chair with your clipboard and radio; getting sunburned or soaked or maybe, if the stars are aligned, you’re enjoying a rare mid-seventies with a gentle breeze perfect day. You’ve givin up your time and energy all so that the riders galloping past can enjoy this crazy sport. EN salutes you, volunteers. You ROCK!
